REALITY ( A Liam Payne Fanfiction)

chapter 1: the quick beginning i hate writing...

I rush around my house getting ready for the school day ahead. I force the brush through my hair as I fly down the steps to retrieve my lunch that my older brother has already made for me. as I go pass the living room I hear a loud and obnoxious cough. I turn to see my brother sitting on the couch looking over at me.

"a 'thank you' would be much appreciated." he half grumbles.

"Thank you so much, James for making me a lunch I am sure will be amazing. you are the best big brother ever!" I say with a huge over played smile. he rolls his eyes and focuses on the cartoons that play on the tv in front of him. when I get back up to my room I grab my bag, put my lunch, phone, wallet, keys, and homework inside. right as I close it and am ready to go I hear four honks outside my house.

"Niall is here!" James calls loudly from downstairs, as if I didn't already know. I make my way down the stairs and to the front door. I say goodbye to James and turn to go to school.

Niall has some band playing loudly through his shiny black jeep and I hop in the passengers side. he turns down the music as soon as I get in, but keeps drumming on the steering wheel. he has on a white t shirt with the sleeves rolled up twice. his black jeans are fading and are grey at the knees from being worn so often, he finishes his look with perfectly white supras with perfectly white laces. you don't mess with his shoes.

"So what's up, loser?" he asks sitting back into his seat.

"Trying to get to school is that ok with you?" I sarcastically respond.

"hey, don't sass me, I could make you walk all the way." he mentions looking at himself in the mirror. His blonde hair reflects the light of the sun. its surprisingly sunny outside for Seattle weather. but then again it was early September so the rain. wouldn't start hard again for about a week.

"oh shut up and drive you idiot." I say buckling myself into my seat. he shakes his head disapprovingly but pulls out of my driveway and starts our routine drive to school.

We pull into our spot next to Nialls best friend Zayn. Zayn sits against his car with a cig behind his ear and his classic shades on his face. he is wearing a red plaid shirt with a black tee underneath. his dark jeans hang low on his hips. he has on slightly trashed all black chuck taylors that are only tied up to the fifth loop. he nods at us as we get out of the car. me and zayn have always had a (slightly awkward at times) flirty thing going on, but we both knew Zayn wasn't ready for commitment. As I walk up to him I sling my sticker covered backpack across my shoulder.

"Hey you, looking sexy as always." he winks as I approach him. his arm lazily slings around my shoulder and Niall just laughs lightly as he shakes his head. we walk through the halls and stop at Nialls locker. The only reason Niall even had a locker was because he played on our university's soccer team, only sports people were given lockers.

"So Anna, do you purposely come to school looking that way to torture me?" he leans closer to me with a sly smirk on his face. I laugh and look away from him.

"Actually believe it or not you aren't I. my thought process when I pick out my outfits." he raises his eyebrow and laughs.

"Oh darlin, you and I both know that's a lie." I giggle a little bit and turn to Niall who has been texting someone since we entered the building.

"Who are you texting?" I ask, ending the conversation with Zayn. Niall looks up at me then closes his locker loudly.

"Oh its a friend of mine, he's moving here from California, wants to know if he can stay at my place." Zayns head snaps in Nialls direction,

"Are you talking about the Liam guy we met last spring at that one UCLA party?" he asks, there is something in his voice that throws me off. Niall looks uncomfortable so I know he hears it too.

"Um.. uh, yeah, him." Zayn is definitely not happy about it.

"No, there is no way you are letting him stay with you." Niall rolls his eyes again and just looks at the girls passing by.

"Um, mate, you remember its my house right? I say who is staying there and who isn't." Zayn is a pretty intimidating guy so I'm slightly shocked when he steps toward Niall and Niall doesn't even blink. There are things that have happened between them that they don't talk about and they don't think that I know they are there but I do. They have a past that so far, I know nothing about.

"Don't bring him around when he gets here." Zayn spits through his teeth.

"he's an adult, he will go where he wants I don't have control over him." Niall remarks. I check my phone and I have five minutes to get to my psychology class.

"I'm going to go, ill see you guys after classes." Zayn doesn't reply he just pushes pass Niall and continues down the hall.

"See ya later, Anna." Niall says before walking toward the gym. those two could really give a girl a headache.
